Lua development
From ArmadeusWiki
On this page you will learn how to create your first Lua script for your Armadeus board. 
Contents
[hide]Installation
Lua interpreter is not installed in the default rootfs.
Lua version installed by Buildroot is x.x.
- Launch Buildroot's menuconfig:
armadeus$ make menuconfig
- In
choose
- choosing Lua package automatically selects readline and ncurses one
- then save your configuration and build your system:
armadeus$ make
- copy generated rootfs to your NFS directory or on your MMC/SD. If you already have an existing rootfs then just make a:
armadeus$ cp -r buildroot/build_arm/root/usr/ /local/export/
Here /local/export/ is my NFS directory.
Source code
First take your favorite editor/IDE and create the following script:
print "Hello from APF9328 ! Today it's:" print(os.date())
Save it as example.lua
Compilation
Not needed. Transforming Lua scripts in "executables" with Luac hasn't been tested yet.
Running
- Copy your example.lua script to your APF9328 board through your NFS export directory or your MMC/SD
- then on your APF console, launch it:
# lua example.lua Hello from APF9328 ! Today it's: Thu Jun 6 21:57:17 2007 #
Now it's up to you ! ;-)
